I was just wondering when homosexuals stopped paying taxes? Those same tax dollars were also paid by them.
What truly saddens me is that the big political machine preys upon peoples fears of immorality to keep discrimination in effect.
Lets look at the big picture shall we? If same-sex is legalized how much revenue will be lost by the federal government? Married filing jointly discounts for homosexuals and social security death benefits paid to the surviving spouse are just a couple that jump immediately to mind. Then the lobbyists for big business..the nice tidy discount that applies to married people on car insurance, the medical benefit coverage, pensions and others. However, that isnt what we tell the American people, no lets appeal to their ignorance and fear and scream morality and the decline of Western culture. Please lets all be honest, its just business and the almighty dollar.

Apparently it’s only ok to use the law as an elitist standardizing tool when it’s backed by dogmatic smear campaigns suggesting that the minority (which I doubt is in fact a minority) in question isn’t right in the head.

The longer we keep up the facade that heterosexuals are universally closer to ‘normal’ or emotionally ‘healthy’ (HA!), the longer their divorce rate will languish at a pathetic FIFTY PERCENT.

Law also once prohibited blacks from voting. Should we repeal that one, too, Chairm? Or how about eliminating tax-exempt status for churches? What I saw happening in DC with the archdiocese was disgusting. Using the homeless and the under/unemployed as hostages to force an agenda is not accaptable, and it’s just a matter of time before it becomes par for teh course up in New England.

You poeple have a lot of nerve trying to tell the rest of the population how to conduct themselves.

How often are the voters given an opportunity to vote on marriage issues in general? The example that comes to my mind is miscegenation, but for some odd reason, advocates of a public vote on same-sex marriage are in no hurry to raise that example.

And the citizens of MA were also never given the opportunity to vote about whther or not heterosexual couples could retain their right to marry.

If the shoe were on the other foot, would you prefer that your private life be left to popular vote? What if you were the lone conservative in a liberal state and your church’s property were targeted for imminent domain to build a Walmart or a Planned Parenthood? That’s a matter of public decision as well, sweetheart.

At what point to do you people stop abusing the media and the population’s emotional paranoia to enforce your privately held personal opinions as law?

When it comes time for YOUR families’ rights to suffer under public lawmaking gone horribly and unfairly awry, I hope indeed that you remember this particular legal battle. Because you are casting the first stone is what is garaunteed to be a tremendous backlash agianst all you think is so holy and sacred.

You do not speak for God, and you do not speak for other Christians in this flippant discrimination.
